Introduction During my seminar I will focus on issues relating to the Government's plan to assign every child in Scotland a 'nominated person'.

I intend to discuss the arguments for and against the "designated person" and the challenges this might pose for integration. Throughout the article I will discuss the government's need for every child and young person under 18 to have a 'nominated person' and link this to a European policy known as 'social pedagogy', which outlines a unique way of working with children and development policy foundation.GIRFEC approachThe Scottish Government wants all children and young people to be fully supported as they mature and develop, they believe children should be kept safe, be healthy, be given support to achieve, be nurtured , have the opportunity to be active, to be respected, to be responsible and to be included.
